85 miles with a forecasted high of 93 degrees, actually it turned out to be 97 degrees but just like Arizona it was a dry heat. The humidity was about 40 plus percent. We did not go through where we could find anything to eat along the route. So Emiel and Don drove to Clarksdale and got everyone a sandwich at Subway. Good old Subway the biker’s friend. By the way does anyone remember Clarksdale, Maggie? The harvest is in full swing here. Cotton and beans primarily, and much of the harvested ground has already been turned over with a chisel plow. John Deere seems to be the only brand of farm machinery we see in the field, but there is a Case-IH dealer right down the street from the hotel. It was a tough day because of the heat and the distanced but turned out to be a lot of fun challenging yourself.
Today's pictures show just how flat this Mississippi Delta is and one has a bit of a civil rights flavor to is.
